HARTFORD, CT (CBSNewYork) - A number of Senators are asking the Justice Department to appeal the court ruling that found tobacco companies can’t be compelled to label cigarettes with graphic photos of ailments that may afflict long term smokers.

“The labels are truthful. The tobacco companies may not like the truth to be told and the court outrageously and wrongly decided to impede the truth and that’s why there should be an appeal,” he told WCBS 880 Connecticut Bureau Chief Fran Schneidau.
